The Prediction List

Colleges and Universities A-Z Columbia University
1

<p>I've been wanting to do something like this for a while, and when I saw this thread on another forum, I decided I'd post it.</p>

<p>okay people, heres how it works. its another roster. YOU ADD YOURSELF TO THE LIST DO NOT ASK OTHER PEOPLE TO DO IT FOR YOU. <em>ahem</em> alphabetize yourselves, anybody asking to be put on gets an automatic REJECTION predicion from me. </p>

<p>the list closes officially at 9PM EST tomorrow. after 9, read the list, and for the people on it, make a prediction about their admissions decision. as lindsey put it, most people would be more comfortable predicting other peoples chances than their own. when it comes time to list them, simply number your reply like a quiz, and write accepted/deferred/rejected or - if you have no basis to judge, next to the number. Each person corresponds to the number next to their name on the final officialized list, so there is no need to go "12: screenname9 - accepted"
to simplify, "12 - accepted" will do fine, screenname9 can then see all the 12s on the list and see what people think.
if you are not comfortable with other people predicting your chances or giving other people theirs, we completely understand. </p>

<p>---So, I'll start.</p>
